Roosevelt General Hospital is a state certified Level IV Trauma Center.
Level IV Trauma Centers are vital links to rural New Mexico. This state
designation confirms RGH has specific standards of care for our trauma
patients and ED staff. The response to trauma is time critical. Patient
outcomes are dependent upon having a plan in place. Level IV hospitals'
primary role is to provide initial evaluation, assessment, stabilization
and transfer of critical trauma patients to higher level trauma centers.

Overcrowding and long wait times in emergency rooms occur in hospitals
throughout the U.S. RGH has a door to doctor time less than 30 minutes
in the Emergency Department. This is the time from patient registration
to the time a patient is seen by a physician. This is just an average.
Patients can wait much less or much longer before receiving care, based
on many factors. The door to doctor time will be impacted by the number
and severity of patients being cared for in the other treatment rooms.
However, Roosevelt General Hospital is still ahead of the national average
for "door to doctor" times in the Emergency Department.
